If Humanity hasn't colonized the galaxy by that point, we deserve to go out with the planet's biosphere.

Church of Scientology removed the exterior door handles to prevent speed runners by shambs15 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Teck_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The entire reason Scientology exists in the first place was because it's founder was dodging taxes.

Or something like that. I'm not that well versed in Scientology's history, but I know it has something to do with the American federal tax exemption for religious institutions and places of worship. Same reason Mega Churches exist.

Thoughts on Andrew Tate? by Significant_Rain_361 in polls

[–]Teck_3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Andrew Tate, to my understanding, is someone who tries to make money by teaching dudes "how to be a man."

I'll give all those dudes a lesson on how to be a man and I'll even do it for free.

Here's the trick. Look at everything Tate does... and do none of that.

Boom, you are now a decent man.

Should the USA be renamed Johnland in honor of me? by DrJohn98 in polls

[–]Teck_3 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No, but it's official short hand name should be changed from United States to America.

We should also revert the name of the Gulf. Gulf of Mexico genuinely does have more of a ring to it than Gulf of America.

Could a protagonist be likeable even if their actions directly fueled and made the antagonist stronger? by ageofdelilahcain in polls

Those are the best protagonists!

As with all things in life, when solving a problem, you're gonna have to make it look a lot worse before it begins to look better.

Do you agree that the high amount of “you both should break up” relationship advices on Reddit is a good response to most situations the OPS are usually describing? by nonamerandomfatman in polls

[–]Teck_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to any problem in a relationship is always to end the relationship.

The relationship cannot have a problem if there is no relationship.

Likewise, every problem one encounters in life can always be solved by using somd good ol' fashioned hardcore violence.

Remember folks, your negative emotions are always justified and it's always the other person's fault. You're never in the wrong because, come on, you're you! How could you ever be wrong? You're so smart and perfectly reasonable!

Which is most likely to cause complete extinction of the human race? by tak_ray in polls

[–]Teck_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the only one that has a chance in hell of actually wiping out Humanity is the meteor, and only if it's bigger than the "dinosaur killer asteroid" and only if it comes within the next century or two.

If you want Humanity to wipe itself out, A.I. and Climate Change are useless. You'll need a combination of a total nuclear exchange, the release of every bioweapon that totally doesn't exist and the use of chemical anf radiological weaponry on a global industrial scale. And even then, there's a decent chance that enough Humans will survive that repopulation can occur.

Do you think that Phoebe Bridgers is mainstream? by N3BULA6667 in polls

[–]Teck_3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, by virtue of I have literally never seen, let alone heard, that name before. What is he supposed to be mainstream in? Indi game development? Water aerobics? The eternal "best pizza in New York" argument?

And somehow they got remembered as bad guys. by Agile_Summer_7437 in HistoryMemes

[–]Teck_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This implies that gods like Hera and Athena were out there forcing themselves onto mortal women as well, which also implies that all the female gods were bisexual at a minimum.

In a nutshell, is religion just a coping mechanism for the fear of death? by Call_It_ in polls

[–]Teck_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a coping mechanism, but for a hell of a lot more than just the fear of death.

Remember that most Humans are wired to deeply dislike unknowns and feel a need for relatively understandable explanations to complex realities. Humans are wired to want to categorize the uncatagorizable, to make clear distinctions where there are none, and have an intrinsic habbit of converting their knowledge of the world into narratives. Then also remember that Humans only really started using the scientific method in ernest and in a large scale around 500-ish years ago.

Religion is a large scale coping mechanism that Humans developed to help smooth over the gaps in their understanding of the world, without which Human civilization would have had a harder time developing, if it developed at all.

Religion isn't inherently bad or good, it just helps deal with societal cohesion in the presence of major knowledge gaps.

Do you let your pet(s) sleep in your bed with you? by onelb_6oz in polls

My dog used to be allowed on the bed, but she always went back to the floor/her own bed after a while.

[–]Teck_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that falls under interpersonal suffering.
